IAA and DAA look to reduce charges for airlines

Airport charges at Dublin airport are to remain the same for the next 12 months according to an announcement made by the Dublin Airport Authority (DAA). This comes following the news from the Irish Aviation Authority that it will reduce its charges for airlines on air traffic control by a massive 40% over the coming 5 years. Both actions are to ensure Ireland’s and specifically Dublin airports competitiveness to other European airports. It should bode well for passengers, who should see this reflected in lower air fares.

However, it may have other repercussions elsewhere as the DAA recorded a drop in the profits from this time last year recently and they will need to look to address this as Shannon and Cork come under further sustainability pressure. One area that the DAA look to recoup this revenue is through airport parking and their red and blue car parks at Dublin airport. Customers driving to the airport would be advised to always check what the best parking deals are on at the time they are travelling.
